The distance between your feet should be approximately shoulder-width apart. Always remember to keep your back straight and your chest high. Be sure to keep your shoulders back and low. Maintain a tight abs line.
Using an overhand grip, hold a dumbbell in each hand at the shoulders. Your palms should be facing front while you perform this exercise. You should have your elbows pointed out to the sides of your body.
To perform this exercise, steadily raise the weights straight up overhead until your arms are fully extended. This should be done in a controlled manner.
Take a brief pause.
Bring the dumbbells back to the beginning position in a slow and controlled manner.
